He was born on either November 28th or December 1st 1924 in Arizona (There is conflicting information on his birth date, but his death date, SSN, and service number line up), moving to Los Angeles as a farmhand on a fruit farm before registering his draft card and enlisting in the US Army October or November of 1943. He served outside the United States and discharged on November 7, 1945, serving two years. It is unknown where or who he served with as information is sparse. If you cross reference the screenshots you’ll see information is consistent and inconsistent, though the likely chance of two people with the same name, surname, and middle initial being born three days away from each other and enlisting on the same exact day is unlikely. Refugio died on September 4th 1980 and is buried at Oakdale Memorial Park in Glendora, California. His Army Good Conduct Medal. Replacement Period WWII Victory Ribbon and Honorable Discharge Pin.

Both medals displayed the annotation “1911 – 1917″ on the bottom of the medal.

For those Army members who had been cited for gallantry in combat, the Citation Star was authorized as a device to the Mexican Service Medal. There were no devices authorized for the Navy’s version of the decoration. A similar decoration, known as the Mexican Border Service Medal also existed for those who had performed support duty to Mexican combat expeditions from within the United States.
